And I thought only our government could waste so much money on ridiculous projects. I wonder if the people working on it will have their life insurance and health insurance paid for out of the money not used for taxes? This reminds me of the baseball stadium built in Phoenix from tax money that is making money for the owners. :fU:

The stadium in Dayton, Ohio was built on the dole too and has been sold out since opening back in the 90s. The problem is the public has never been able to buy tickets on game days because every last ticket is corporate owned.

I remember when Seattle built a new stadium. They voted on a state wide tax increase to build it so they could have another sports team, the Seattle Something or Others. So the huge west coast population over powered all the poor schmucks in Spokane 400 miles away on the east side of the state, and built a stadium for a privately owned team with public money. It's actually common practice. The owner of a team wants a new stadium, so he plays major cities against each other. Whoever gives him the most money gets to have the team with their city's name on it. This is capitalism. I had a friend from the Seattle area. He said he thought it was a good idea. I lived in Montana, so I was unaffected.

Government tax coffers still represent a source wealth for the 1%. This is nothing new.
